Re: Problems retrieving data from bytea field

Iran,

This is a bug in the database server in 7.3. The server is doing
character set translation on the binary data being returned to the jdbc
client. This bug was reported a couple of months ago on the
pgsql-hackers mail list. I don't know if it has been fixed yet.

thanks,
